If you order the passion iced tea unsweetened it should have no sugar. They do sell the tea bags at most grocery stores and at Walmart. The brand is Tazo! I just brew it like I would brew regular tea and keep it in my fridge. So refreshing and no caffeine because it's and herbal tea! If you can get used to drinking unsweet and not add any artificial sweetener it is soooo good for you! My nutritionist told me unsweetened (and no sugar substitutes) and decaf tea is te same as drinking water but with the added benefit of the antioxidants you get from tea!!!

I want to have a family picture taken that I actually put out on display! And I want to buy a pair of Tom's shoes. Tried a pair on and they look ridiculous with my fat legs and little feet.

Thank you all do much! Just to know thati am not crazy is wonderful! Lol! I know its totally worth it and really am excited to start my new life!

This sounds ridiculous but I am terrified of missing food after surgery. I am tore between being mentally ready for this change and being sad about not having certain things ever again. Anyone else feeling this way or had these feelings before surgery? I just need to know km not crazy!

Thank you for your response. I have heard from my doc the same thing about the chances of it going away after rny are huge- especially since I didn't have it when i was younger and a healthy weight! I guess I will give the nasal pillow a try. Maybe ill get used to it when I can finally breathe properly.

Hi everyone. I am new here. Had my first appointment on june8 and so far am right on schedule to have my surgery sometime in December. I just went for a sleep test because at that first appt. I mentioned that I haven't slept through the night in years and it keeps getting worse. They said if I had any signs of sleep apnea that I would have to come back again this mon for a repeat test with the addition of using the sleep apnea mask. Lo and behold they let me know I do have to come back. So apparently I have sleep apnea. This has its positives and negatives for me. The positives are I now have a premorbidity factor- my bmi was only 39.7 and had no other health factors. Now I fit the bill no problem! I was weighing with my shoes on before to hit 40! Also I suppose a positive would be I should get a full nights sleep finally! The negatives are that I have to wear the darth vadar mask! Boooooo! So my question is- does anyone else have sleep apnea? I was told I have a number of options as far as masks so I'd love some input in this area! They let me try a little mushy feeling one the first night that just goes below your nose that was tiny and less bulky than the others. The only problem that I saw with that one was you had to sleep with you mouth closed and only breath through your nose. I am a teeth clencher so I try hard to relax my jaw... anyway. Any input on what masks you all prefer?

I am about 3 months into my 6 month regimin and going to Dr gorman in chambersburg pa. Anyone else from this area or had thr surgery by him?
